A podcast series from Shift Technology
Insurance is standing at an inflection point. AI agents are no longer a distant promise, they're reshaping how claims get handled, how risk gets managed, and how insurers compete. But moving from automation to true autonomy raises hard questions: What can agents actually do today? Who's accountable when they act on their own? And how do you build an organization where humans and AI agents work side by side?
The Agentic Insurer brings together Shift's leading experts to cut through the hype and get practical. Across six episodes, we explore what agentic AI really means for insurance and what it takes to deploy it responsibly, effectively, and at scale.
